Transcripts
if you are struggling with lust just
know that I've been there before and I
know how sometimes it could feel like
you can never get out of that cycle and
even sometimes you might break free of
that cycle for like a few weeks or a few
months and then you'll fall right back
into that same sin
just know this
you need to change your perspective when
it comes to lust specifically I'm
talking about when
we go on the internet and we watch
certain videos that we shouldn't be
watching and then we do things to
ourselves that we shouldn't be doing
that this is specifically what I'm
talking about when I say lust
here's the mindset change that I need
y'all to make and this really changed my
entire view on lust and it's helped me
overcome it
you have to understand that lust has a
purpose
the purpose of lust is to get you off of
your god-given purpose of the god-given
destiny that God has given to you in
your life the purpose of lust is to make
you comfortable is to make you satisfied
is to make you content with where you
are in your life
all right and when lust comes it is a
direct attack on you spiritually and it
is a direct attack on your father in
Heaven God it is a direct attack against
him and every time we give in to lust we
are giving in to the Wicked Ways of
Satan
every time we give in to lust we are
giving into the Wicked Ways of Satan
so next time you are tempted with lust
think of it as a literal battle a
literal fight for your purpose
you have God on one side who was saying
my son my daughter come come to me I
always give you a way out even though
Satan tempts you come to me I always
give you a way out and then on the other
hand you have Satan sitting there
chilling like hey
it's just one more time it's just one
more video I mean you can get back to
your purpose after after you watch this
video you can get right back to it think
of it as a literal battle and you need
to see God and you need to see Satan and
you need to choose God every single time
in every situation that you are
struggling and battling with with lust
in that very moment you need to make a
conscious decision to choose God
because you are not strong enough to
defeat lust on your own
you are not strong enough to defeat lust
on your own look at King Solomon
King Solomon was literally the wisest
man to ever live and who will ever live
King Solomon had everything he had
everything he had everything and you
know what he struggled with he struggled
with his appetite for many women
many women King Solomon had access to as
many women as he wanted and he pretty
much had all the women that he wanted he
had like 500 wives uh 200 concubines I
mean this dude did not spare himself of
any lustful desire and look what
happened to King Solomon as a result of
him giving in to this lust with all
these many women
he it ended up with him worshiping false
gods it ended up with him falling away
from God it ended up with him falling
out of Grace and out of his anointing
and out of his purpose
this is the same thing that's happening
we can go on the internet
and we can have many women
in a in an instant we can have many
women we can have many men whatever
you're into we can have many of these
men and women as as at the touch of our
finger many of them at one time without
any restraint
and the same thing that happened to King
Solomon is the same thing that's going
to happen to you if you continue to
allow yourself to have many women many
men through the form of these videos
that you're watching online it's going
to drive you out of your purpose it's
going to drive you out of the anointing
that God has placed on your life it is
going it is going to cause you to
worship these false Idols of this world
you have to understand that when you are
battling with lust it is an attack and a
direct attack against God
stop giving in to the things of Satan
the Bible says if you do the things of
Satan then that is because he is your
father
do not do the things of Satan do the
things of God be righteous have
self-control have restraints have
respect
and understand that your purpose is on
the line
your purpose is on the line I can't tell
you how many years I've wasted battling
with the lust
how many years it drove me away from my
purpose there is a direct correlation
between lust and your purpose the more
that you give in to lust the less that
you will actually fulfill your purpose
